There’s something undeniably magical about trading the salty breeze of a quiet beach town for the cobblestone charm of America’s oldest city… at least for an afternoon! Did I mention how effortless it is? When you base your Florida beach getaways at Bombora oceanfront suites, you get the absolute best of both worlds: a breezy, short 30-min drive north straight into centuries of history, followed by a blissful return to your peaceful oceanfront sanctuary.
Ready to pack your bags and explore? Let's dive into the ultimate day trip itinerary!
Morning: Cruising North to Ancient Streets
Picture this: You wake up slow in your spacious suite, brew a fresh cup of Coffee, and watch the Sun paint the Atlantic in shades of peach and gold right from your private balcony. After soaking in those unobstructed 180-degree ocean views, you hop in the car for a breezy 30-minute drive north along Florida’s scenic coast.
Before you know it, you’re stepping back in time.
Top St. Augustine Stops You Can't Miss:
- Castillo de San Marcos: The oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S. Standing on the ramparts with the sea breeze in your hair is nothing short of postcard-worthy.
- St. George Street: A vibrant, pedestrian-only brick walkway buzzing with historic charm, quirky boutiques, local art galleries, and irresistible treats like homemade fudge and fresh Ice Cream.
- The Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church: A stunning architectural masterpiece inspired by Venetian Renaissance design.
Afternoon: Unwinding Back by the Waves
As lovely as the historic downtown is, there is nothing quite like the feeling of heading back south to your favorite Flagler Beach vacation rentals. By late afternoon, you’re kicking off your walking shoes, pouring a cool evening Cocktail, and stepping straight out onto the warm sand.
No crowded parking garages. No traffic stress. Just your private dune walk-over, the rhythmic sound of the Surf, and a cozy ocean-side patio waiting for you to exhale.
Why stay cramped miles away from the coast when you can have front-row seats to paradise?
Make Yourself at Home
Whether you spent your day exploring ancient Spanish fortresses or simply hunting down the best local pastries, coming home to Bombora is the ultimate reward.
